The last three races of the F1 seasonstarting with this one weekend at the F1 2024 Las Vegas GPand Fernando Alonso’s goal remains the same: try to score in the last three rounds of the championship.
The evolutions shown by Aston Martin throughout the course did not give the expected results and that led them from fighting at the top of the middle zone at the beginning of the course, to having “8th, 9th or 10th car” since F1 returned after the summer break, as Fernando Alonso said in previous tests. Despite this, the man from Oviedo continued to fight and managed on many occasions, against all odds, to get through Q3 and gain points taking advantage of any element he could take advantage of. Without further ado, a few weeks ago, in Brazil, he managed to enter Q3 with a good classification in rainy conditions, but he could not qualify for points with many deficiencies, brake problems and lots of rebound, one thing. which caused him severe back pain.
Now, come on Las Vegas with “optimism”, more than other types of tracks, knows that the low temperature of the asphalt and the straights of the American layout can be good for his car to go for Q3 in qualifying and the points on Sunday. Las Vegas is a unique, urban layout, where the Spaniard can try to improve the results he sought in more common layouts.
“The track is different, the temperature of the tires is a problem because it is very cold and the track is long straight. Maybe with this year’s car that is one of the strong points we have. We were able to activate the tires quite quickly and we did well in qualifying, where the tires had to come up to temperature very quickly. So, I don’t know, Hopefully we can get back to our top position in the middle zone. “Not among the first four teams, but if we can be the fifth or sixth team here, I think we can get points in the race and that will be the goal.”argued with Fernando Alonso at the Aston Martin press conference, as reported by the ‘Motorsport.com’ portal.
However, Fernando clarified that despite this, it is not possible to look beyond the leadership of the central zone: “No, central zone, central zone. I don’t think we can compete for the podium this year in any race. It should be a special scenario like what happened in Brazil for some cars. I think points will be the goal for the next three races and maybe one of the best opportunities is here in Las Vegas, better than Qatar and Abu Dhabi.”
